Northern Magic of Corfu

Meal included

by bus & on foot

This full-day experience is an ideal option for those wishing to maximise their visit to Corfu.

Departing from the port, relax and enjoy the passing scenery as you make your way north to the village of Paleokastritsa – with dramatic cliffs and glittering turquoise coves, it is considered one of the most beautiful coastlines in Greece. Here you will have the option to either relax in the village with some free time or follow your guide on an approximately 15-minute strenuous uphill walk to the Paleokastritsa Monastery. Located on a hill, the monastery is still inhabited by a small community of monks and features a small museum with a unique collection of Byzantine and Post Byzantine icons. You will have some time to explore the gardens and enjoy the tranquillity of this magical place before making your way back down hill to the bus.

Your route from here will climb to Lakones, a traditional mountain village that has preserved its spirit with traditional stone houses from the 18th and 19th centuries. Pause at the Bella Vista viewpoint, boasting one of the best views in Europe. Snap some picture postcard photos of the Ionian Sea stretching to the horizon before making your way to a local restaurant for a traditional Greek style lunch, accompanied with a glass of wine or a soft drink.

Refreshed, your journey continues to the island’s north coast to discover the enchantment of Canal d’Amour in Sidari. Legend has it that swimming through the narrow channel can bring eternal love and an enduring bond to couples. A stop will be made for you to enjoy the surroundings and capture your photos of the rock formations.

Your final highlight of the day is the charming north coast village of Kassiopi, an attractive resort with traditional narrow streets, overlooked by the ruins of an ancient Byzantine castle. Your guide will lead you on a short walk to introduce you to the village before allowing you some free time to explore at your leisure.

Conclude with a scenic drive back to Corfu Town and your awaiting ship.
